I'm an international student visiting a couple of grad schools I have offers from soon. I've got 1/2 hr 1-on-1 meetings with several professors.
How do meetings with professors usually pan out? How much will they expect me to know about their research? Would I be expected to lead the discussion? What would be reasonable things to discuss? Would I be going too far if I asked them how positive they would be to me joining their group?
Also, what are the sort of things I should be aiming to learn from the trip? Currently I haven't got much apart from asking them about how much they support their grads in finding jobs.
Thanks in advance, any advice, related or not, would be much appreciated!
